A Capability Statement documents a set of capabilities (behaviors) of a FHIR Server that may be used as a statement of actual server functionality or a statement of required or desired server implementation.

The logical id of the resource, as used in the URL for the resource. Once assigned, this value never changes.

The only time that a resource does not have an id is when it is being submitted to the server using a create operation.

The metadata about the resource. This is content that is maintained by the infrastructure. Changes to the content may not always be associated with version changes to the resource.

A reference to a set of rules that were followed when the resource was constructed, and which must be understood when processing the content.

Asserting this rule set restricts the content to be only understood by a limited set of trading partners. This inherently limits the usefulness of the data in the long term. However, the existing health eco-system is highly fractured, and not yet ready to define, collect, and exchange data in a generally computable sense. Wherever possible, implementers and/or specification writers should avoid using this element.

This element is labelled as a modifier because the implicit rules may provide additional knowledge about the resource that modifies it's meaning or interpretation.

The base language in which the resource is written.

Language is provided to support indexing and accessibility (typically, services such as text to speech use the language tag). The html language tag in the narrative applies to the narrative. The language tag on the resource may be used to specify the language of other presentations generated from the data in the resource Not all the content has to be in the base language. The Resource.language should not be assumed to apply to the narrative automatically. If a language is specified, it should it also be specified on the div element in the html (see rules in HTML5 for information about the relationship between xml:lang and the html lang attribute).

A human-readable narrative that contains a summary of the resource, and may be used to represent the content of the resource to a human. The narrative need not encode all the structured data, but is required to contain sufficient detail to make it "clinically safe" for a human to just read the narrative. Resource definitions may define what content should be represented in the narrative to ensure clinical safety.

Contained resources do not have narrative. Resources that are not contained SHOULD have a narrative. In some cases, a resource may only have text with little or no additional discrete data (as long as all minOccurs=1 elements are satisfied). This may be necessary for data from legacy systems where information is captured as a "text blob" or where text is additionally entered raw or narrated and encoded in formation is added later.

These resources do not have an independent existence apart from the resource that contains them - they cannot be identified independently, and nor can they have their own independent transaction scope.

This should never be done when the content can be identified properly, as once identification is lost, it is extremely difficult (and context dependent) to restore it again.

May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the resource. In order to make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer is allowed to define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension.

There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone.

An absolute URI that is used to identify this capability statement when it is referenced in a specification, model, design or an instance. This SHALL be a URL, SHOULD be globally unique, and SHOULD be an address at which this capability statement is (or will be) published. The URL SHOULD include the major version of the capability statement. For more information see Technical and Business Versions.

Allows the capability statement to be referenced by a single globally unique identifier.

Can be a urn:uuid: or a urn:oid:, but real http: addresses are preferred. Multiple instances may share the same url if they have a distinct version.

The identifier that is used to identify this version of the capability statement when it is referenced in a specification, model, design or instance. This is an arbitrary value managed by the capability statement author and is not expected to be globally unique. For example, it might be a timestamp (e.g. yyyymmdd) if a managed version is not available. There is also no expectation that versions can be placed in a lexicographical sequence.

There may be different capability statement instances that have the same identifier but different versions. The version can be appended to the url in a reference to allow a refrence to a particular business version of the capability statement with the format [url]|[version].

A natural language name identifying the capability statement. This name should be usable as an identifier for the module by machine processing applications such as code generation.

Support human navigation and code generation.

The name is not expected to be globally unique. The name should be a simple alpha-numeric type name to ensure that it is computable friendly.

A short, descriptive, user-friendly title for the capability statement.

This name does not need to be machine-processing friendly and may contain punctuation, white-space, etc.

The status of this capability statement. Enables tracking the life-cycle of the content.

Allows filtering of capability statements that are appropriate for use vs. not.
This is labeled as "Is Modifier" because applications should not use a retired capability statement without due consideration. This is not intended for use with actual capability statements, but where capability statements are used to describe possible or desired systems.

A boolean value to indicate that this capability statement is authored for testing purposes (or education/evaluation/marketing), and is not intended to be used for genuine usage.

Enables experimental content to be developed following the same lifecycle that would be used for a production-level capability statement.

Allows filtering of capability statement that are appropriate for use vs. not. This is labeled as "Is Modifier" because applications should not use an experimental capability statement in production.

The date (and optionally time) when the capability statement was published. The date must change if and when the business version changes and it must change if the status code changes. In addition, it should change when the substantive content of the capability statement changes.

Note that this is not the same as the resource last-modified-date, since the resource may be a secondary representation of the capability statement. Additional specific dates may be added as extensions or be found by consulting Provenances associated with past versions of the resource.

The name of the individual or organization that published the capability statement.

Helps establish the "authority/credibility" of the capability statement. May also allow for contact.

Usually an organization, but may be an individual. The publisher (or steward) of the capability statement is the organization or individual primarily responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the capability statement. This is not necessarily the same individual or organization that developed and initially authored the content. The publisher is the primary point of contact for questions or issues with the capability statement. This item SHOULD be populated unless the information is available from context.

Contact details to assist a user in finding and communicating with the publisher.

May be a web site, an email address, a telephone number, etc.

A free text natural language description of the capability statement from a consumer's perspective. Typically, this is used when the capability statement describes a desired rather than an actual solution, for example as a formal expression of requirements as part of an RFP.

This description can be used to capture details such as why the capability statement was built, comments about misuse, instructions for clinical use and interpretation, literature references, examples from the paper world, etc. It is not a rendering of the capability statement as conveyed in the 'text' field of the resource itself. This item SHOULD be populated unless the information is available from context (e.g. the language of the profile is presumed to be the predominant language in the place the profile was created). This does not need to be populated if the description is adequately implied by the software or implementation details.

The content was developed with a focus and intent of supporting the contexts that are listed. These terms may be used to assist with indexing and searching for appropriate capability statement instances.

Assist in searching for appropriate content.

When multiple useContexts are specified, there is no expectation whether all or any of the contexts apply.

A legal or geographic region in which the capability statement is intended to be used.

It may be possible for the capability statement to be used in jurisdictions other than those for which it was originally designed or intended.

Explaination of why this capability statement is needed and why it has been designed as it has.

This element does not describe the usage of the capability statement Instead it provides traceability of ''why'' the resource is either needed or ''why'' it is defined as it is. This may be used to point to source materials or specifications that drove the structure of this capability statement.

A copyright statement relating to the capability statement and/or its contents. Copyright statements are generally legal restrictions on the use and publishing of the capability statement.

Consumers must be able to determine any legal restrictions on the use of the capability statement and/or its content.

The way that this statement is intended to be used, to describe an actual running instance of software, a particular product (kind not instance of software) or a class of implementation (e.g. a desired purchase).

Allow searching the 3 modes.

Reference to a canonical URL of another CapabilityStatement that this software implements or uses. This capability statement is a published API description that corresponds to a business service. The rest of the capability statement does not need to repeat the details of the referenced resource, but can do so.

Information about the specific installation that this capability statement relates to.

An absolute base URL for the implementation. This forms the base for REST interfaces as well as the mailbox and document interfaces.

The version of the FHIR specification on which this capability statement is based.

A code that indicates whether the application accepts unknown elements or extensions when reading resources.

Unknown elements in a resource can only arise as later versions of the specification are published, because this is the only place where such elements can be defined. Hence accepting unknown elements is about inter-version compatibility.

Applications are recommended to accept unknown extensions and elements ('both'), but this is not always possible.

A list of the formats supported by this implementation using their content types.

"xml", "json" and "ttl" are allowed, which describe the simple encodings described in the specification (and imply appropriate bundle support). Otherwise, mime types are legal here.

A list of the patch formats supported by this implementation using their content types.

At present, the patch mime types application/json-patch+json and application/xml-patch+xml are legal. Generally, if a server supports PATCH, it would be expected to support the patch formats and match the formats it supports, but this is not always possible or necessary.

A list of implementation guides that the server does (or should) support in their entirety.

A list of profiles that represent different use cases supported by the system. For a server, "supported by the system" means the system hosts/produces a set of resources that are conformant to a particular profile, and allows clients that use its services to search using this profile and to find appropriate data. For a client, it means the system will search by this profile and process data according to the guidance implicit in the profile. See further discussion in Using Profiles.

Supported profiles are different than the profiles that apply to a particular resource in rest.resource.profile. The resource profile is a general statement of what features of the resource are supported overall by the system - the sum total of the facilities it supports. A supported profile is a deeper statement about the functionality of the data and services provided by the server (or used by the client). A typical case is a laboratory system that produces a set of different reports - this is the list of types of data that it publishes. A key aspect of declaring profiles here is the question of how the client converts knowledge that the server publishes this data into working with the data; the client can inspect individual resources to determine whether they conform to a particular profile, but how does it find the ones that does? It does so by searching using the profile parameter, so any resources listed here must be valid values for the profile resource (using the identifier in the target profile). Typically, supported profiles cross resource types to describe a network of related resources, so they are listed here rather than by resource. However, they do not need to describe more than one resource.

A definition of the restful capabilities of the solution, if any.

Multiple repetitions allow definition of both client and/or server behaviors or possibly behaviors under different configuration settings (for software or requirements statements).

Coded identifier of the operation, supported by the system resource.

Guidance specific to the implementation of this operation, such as 'delete is a logical delete' or 'updates are only allowed with version id' or 'creates permitted from pre-authorized certificates only'.

REST allows a degree of variability in the implementation of RESTful solutions that is useful for exchange partners to be aware of.

This field is set to no-version to specify that the system does not support (server) or use (client) versioning for this resource type. If this has some other value, the server must at least correctly track and populate the versionId meta-property on resources. If the value is 'versioned-update', then the server supports all the versioning features, including using e-tags for version integrity in the API.

If a server supports versionIds correctly, it SHOULD support vread too, but is not required to do so.

A flag for whether the server is able to return past versions as part of the vRead operation.

It is useful to support the vRead operation for current operations, even if past versions aren't available.

A flag to indicate that the server allows or needs to allow the client to create new identities on the server (e.g. that is, the client PUTs to a location where there is no existing resource). Allowing this operation means that the server allows the client to create new identities on the server.

Allowing the clients to create new identities on the server means that the system administrator needs to have confidence that the clients do not create clashing identities between them. Obviously, if there is only one client, this won't happen. While creating identities on the client means that the clients need to be managed, it's much more convenient for many scenarios if such management can be put in place.

A flag that indicates that the server supports conditional create.

Conditional Create is mainly appropriate for interface engine scripts converting from other formats, such as v2.

A code that indicates how the server supports conditional read.

Conditional Read is mainly appropriate for interface engine scripts converting from other formats, such as v2.

A flag that indicates that the server supports conditional update.

Conditional Update is mainly appropriate for interface engine scripts converting from other formats, such as v2.

A code that indicates how the server supports conditional delete.

Conditional Delete is mainly appropriate for interface engine scripts converting from other formats, such as v2.

A set of flags that defines how references are supported.

A list of _include values supported by the server.

If this list is empty, the server does not support includes.

A list of _revinclude (reverse include) values supported by the server.

If this list is empty, the server does not support reverse includes.

The name of the search parameter used in the interface.

Parameter names cannot overlap with standard parameter names, and standard parameters cannot be redefined.

An absolute URI that is a formal reference to where this parameter was first defined, so that a client can be confident of the meaning of the search parameter (a reference to SearchParameter.url).

This SHOULD be present, and matches refers to a SearchParameter by its canonical url. If systems wish to document their support for modifiers, comparators, target resource types, and chained parameters, they should do using a search parameter resource.

The type of value a search parameter refers to, and how the content is interpreted.

While this can be looked up from the definition, it is included here as a convenience for systems that autogenerate a query interface based on the server capability statement. It SHALL be the same as the type in the search parameter definition.

This allows documentation of any distinct behaviors about how the search parameter is used. For example, text matching algorithms.

A specification of restful operations supported by the system.

A coded identifier of the operation, supported by the system.

Guidance specific to the implementation of this operation, such as limitations on the kind of transactions allowed, or information about system wide search is implemented.

Search parameters that are supported for searching all resources for implementations to support and/or make use of - either references to ones defined in the specification, or additional ones defined for/by the implementation.

Typically, the only search parameters supported for all searchse are those that apply to all resources - tags, profiles, text search etc.

Definition of an operation or a named query together with its parameters and their meaning and type.

The name of the operation or query. For an operation, this is the name prefixed with $ and used in the URL. For a query, this is the name used in the _query parameter when the query is called.

The name here SHOULD be the same as the name in the definition, unless there is a name clash and the name cannot be used. The name does not include the "$" portion that is always included in the URL.

Where the formal definition can be found.

This can be used to build an HTML form to invoke the operation, for instance.

An absolute URI which is a reference to the definition of a compartment that the system supports. The reference is to a CompartmentDefinition resource by its canonical URL .

At present, the only defined compartments are at CompartmentDefinition.

There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone.

May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element, and that modifies the understanding of the element that contains it. Usually modifier elements provide negation or qualification.

A list of the messaging transport protocol(s) identifiers, supported by this endpoint.

The network address of the end-point. For solutions that do not use network addresses for routing, it can be just an identifier.

Length if the receiver's reliable messaging cache in minutes (if a receiver) or how long the cache length on the receiver should be (if a sender).

If this value is missing then the application does not implement (receiver) or depend on (sender) reliable messaging.

Documentation about the system's messaging capabilities for this endpoint not otherwise documented by the capability statement. For example, the process for becoming an authorized messaging exchange partner.

References to message definitions for messages this system can send or receive.

This is a proposed alternative to the messaging.event structure.
